🚨 Appeal from the Pokrovsk front! The 117th Brigade is operating under relentless attacks and has lost critical equipment‼️ Every day, these soldiers carry out dangerous missions - ☑️evacuating the wounded, ☑️moving troops, and ☑️delivering supplies under fire‼️ They need a ✨drone jammer.

5/ Administration officials deny having made any commitments to the APP. Nonetheless, senior officials have spoken favourably of Alberta's independence movement, and Trump himself has repeatedly said that he wants to annex Canada in its entirety as America's 51st state. /end

4/ The APP hasn't said who it's been meeting, other than "very, very senior people leaving our meetings to go directly to the Oval Office." The State Department and White House have portrayed the meetings as routine interactions with civil society organisations.

3/ The group says that the US is "extremely enthusiastic about a free and independent Alberta". They want the US to provide a $500 billion credit facility to support Alberta if it votes for independence. The APP is currently seeking signatures to call a referendum.

2/ According to the Financial Times, US State Department officials have secretly met with leaders of the far-right Alberta Prosperity Project three times since April 2025, with another meeting scheduled for February 2026. The APP is regarded in Canada as a fringe movement.

1/ Trump Administration officials have reportedly held several secret meetings with Canadian separatists, who are seeking US$500 billion to bankroll their efforts. It suggests that the Administration is interested in breaking up Canada and absorbing the remnants. ⬇️

The deadline to release the Epstein files was 40 days ago.

Putin just attacked and murdered civilians on a train. Yet Trump is mad Ukraine hit military planes

MS NOW: Should there be accountability for Stephen Miller? WALZ: There better be

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

So the government shutdown doesn't affect the ICE thugs? Then we have no government. ABOLISH ICE and throw the trash administration in the dumpster.

ICE officers will be used as security for February’s Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, despite opposition from Italian government officials.

Video footage shows a severely damaged train. According to TSN, people were forced to jump from the burning passenger train while holding children in their arms to escape fire. #Ukraine

In diesem Zug befanden sich mehr als 200 Menschen. In dem Wagen, der von einer der russischen Drohnen getroffen wurde, befanden sich 18 Menschen. Insgesamt sind derzeit vier Todesopfer bekannt. Vier weitere Menschen werden noch von den Rettungskräften gesucht, zwei sind verletzt. — Zelenskyj

Peter Thiel is a dangerous hypocrite who benefits from rights he wants to take away from you

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

BREAKING: The chief federal judge in Minnesota has just ORDERED the Acting Director of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appear personally in court, UNDER OATH, this Friday and warned that he could be held in CONTEMPT for the agency’s repeated violations of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.”

What Rutte does not seem to get is that the USA will not defend Europe anyway. Doesnt matter what Europe wants. And of course Europe can defend itself.

Firstly. An “exchange” means both sides use them. Ukraine doesn’t have nukes, they gave them to us in exchange for a promise we wouldn’t invade. If they still had them we wouldn’t invade. Which we lied about. So there can't be an "exchange". But the idiocy continues

OTD in 2023 it was confidently predicted that it was just six months until a "battlefield exchange" of tactical nukes. This was wrong. Your Prez will explain why, why it was idiocy, and why Jordan should shut up lest the idiocy continue. A 🧵...

More footage of the aftermath in Odesa: Russians destroyed an entire entryway of a high-rise building.

Trump is trying to give Russia exactly what they want & call it a ‘peace deal.’ It’s in fact a guarantee for a bigger war. Donbas is Ukraine’s main line of defense. The region is heavily fortified & holds Russia back from attacking the rest of Ukraine, & from there the EU.

Belarusian KGB special unit Alpha is using Ukrainian made RK 3 Korsar anti tank guided missiles, according to the Belarusian organization BELPOL. The group says the presence of these weapons could indicate that Alpha units took part in aggression against Ukraine and captured the Korsar systems there

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Call for him to resign. That’s the response. www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

The media are fixated on the Trump Administration’s fascist rhetoric & bloody repression. Europe’s leaders must focus on what would actually weaken fascists: Defend Ukraine. Free Iran. Dismantle the Russian war machine and the global networks propping it up.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

Falls es jemanden interessiert, wie es in Murmansk und Seweromorsk aussieht – im Grunde hat sich nichts geändert. Seit fast einer Woche gibt es weder Strom noch Heizung. Man versucht zwar, etwas zu reparieren, aber ohne Erfolg. Die Volksgenossen machen Feuer, um Essen zuzubereiten.

Kristi Noem has been an abject failure leading the Department of Homeland Security for the last year – and the abuses of power we’re seeing from ICE are the latest proof that she has lost control over her own department and staff. 🧵

lol. This is exactly what should happen to you the rest of your miserable life.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Reuters reports that the EU Council has approved a complete ban on supplies of Russian liquefied natural gas to the EU starting January 1, 2027, and on pipeline gas starting September 30, 2027. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

If anybody thinks I overreacted cancelling my trip to America, I’m glad this has now been reported on. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is America

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

Wolves have a moment of silence for Alex Pretti, after seven seconds of silence several fans yell "FUCK ICE"

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad someone else has them.
